New Venom Footage Teases More Symbiotes - Comic-Con 2018

Director Ruben Flesicher confirmed the symbiote Riot will appear in Venom, and there may be more villains to come in the Sony Marvel film.

During the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H Sony panel this year, new footage showcased another symbiote in the mix for the film. Fleischer confirmed on the panel that this is indeed the symbiote Riot, one of The Five Symbiotes. According to IGN editors who saw the footage, the footage also possible teased the symbiote Scream, as a yellow symbiote was also seen. The identity was not confirmed, however.

Before there was Venom, Peter Parker wore the alien costume for several years. The black costume was a major overhaul of Spidey's classic look and set the tone for all Venom costumes to come.

As for further confirmation, Fleischer did confirm that Michelle Williams is playing Anne Weying following previous reports, who is Eddie Brock's (Tom Hardy) ex-girlfriend in the film. This is a slight alteration of the comic, as Anne is Eddie's ex-wife there. In the comics, Anne also takes on the identity of She-Venom, however no mention of that particular symbiote was made at the panel.

The biggest question, of course, is whether Carnage will be featured in the film. No answer was definitively given, but the possibility was not exactly ruled out.

"There may or may not be other villains in the movie," Fleischer said, though of course it's unclear if he was implying Carnage or other symbiote villains for the film. He did say the creative team is "definitely planning a huge world wth this Venom story," though, so even if Carnage does not appear in this film, the intention seems clear to leave open the door to more Venom and symbiote stories. This follows Woody Harrelson's comments that he will return for more Venom movies after his appearance in the first film.
